ON THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

A theory of everything, or, grand unified theory (which Einstein had been working on without success, with Superstring Theory now being a good candidate), is one which unites all the forces of nature, viz., gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. Important as this theory might be, it is lacking in one important fundamental aspect, viz., the role of consciousness, which could in fact be considered the most fundamental aspect of physics. This paper explains that a theory of consciousness is more important than a theory of everything or grand unified theory and should be the theory of everything instead, or, at least, a part of the theory of everything. An Alternative Theory Of Everything? It is apparent that consciousness is somehow connected with phenomena in the quantum realm. Consider Bell’s double-slit experiment. In this experiment, are the particles and waves just sensitive to screens and other equipment or are they picking up messages from the physicist’s brain? It could be said that particles of matter and particles of mind might come into being together, but in any case our self-awareness and what seems to be som
